Holy check, it's going to be extremely hard to contain my excitement for this. The lineup is looking mind-numbingly awesome.

It would be more awesome if EG also had iNcontrol and Tasteless (lol) playing and Liquid had HuK and Jinro. Oh well. I guess you can't have everything...

Cool event, though. I'll be sure to watch what will surely be an epic series of games. Ret vs Idra has the possibility to turn into an epic macro ZvZ. TLO switching back to Random will be quite interesting to watch. Tyler will bring back some Arbitersssssss.

Can't wait.

DeMu takes out Haypro with ease, Ret vs. IdrA is up in the air, TLO destroys Axslav, Tyler narrowly beats LzGamer.

Wow, this is awesome. Pretty short notice (unless it was announced somewhere), but I'll be able to watch it, so it doesn't matter to me. Some great games incoming.

I think ESL spoiled the results of the DeMusliM game accidentally

HayprO won

Any chance we're going to see Jinro in the ace match? Assuming it gets that far, that is.

I think Axslav has a much better chance than people give him credit for lol.

Demuslijm/Haypro and Idra/Ret are pretty close.

Liquid should take this quite easily on paper though

IdrA displayed pretty solid ZvZ the last time I saw him play. He seems to have greatly improved in this regard, especially considering the fact that previously many people called it his worst matchup. Ret's going to have a difficult game to play.
